Also on Monday, Gase said Tannehill will likely be around the team sooner rather than later.

“He’s still kind of in those early stages of rehabbing,” Gase said. “I think he’ll be back at some point. I’m sure you guys will see him around. It’s probably still going to be a little time before he gets around the building and stuff.

Tannehill injured his knee while scrambling from a pass rusher during training camp. He was still wearing a knee brace after he sustained an ACL and MCL sprain last November.

It will likely take Tannehill 8-12 months for him to recover from knee surgery. In the meantime, Gase says he has just been checking on Tannehill to see if he is alright.

“My conversation with him are mostly through text just checking on him,” Gase said. “I don’t want to bug him too much. I know he gets tired of talking about it. He’s grinding already. It’s amazing how fast guys start rehabbing after surgery.”
